What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 650012 of PE 0102417F. This is the budget justification's own description of work that has not happened yet — the one thing no other level of the budget carries.
- Will initiate contract execution activities - Will conduct System Level Design Reviews to enter production - Will start purchase of long lead items - Will start sensor management software suite design, development, and update activities - Will continue buildout and deployment of on-island fiber optic/WAC network segments - Will continue ionospheric modeling to inform target tracking software development activities - Will conduct electromagnetic interference surveys at the transmit site (Babeldaob, Palau) - Will fund program support costs to include DCA manpower, test assets, and initiation of iterative integrated developmental and operational testing
Funding decreased due to purchase of long-lead radar components and material development in FY2026.
FY2026: the year under way
Prior-year accomplishments and current-year plans from the same exhibit. Context for the FY2027 plan, not a series — an activity partitions its project exactly in the request year, but can under-cover it in earlier years.
- Continue market research activities for the acquisition of subsystems - Conduct fiber optic/network design reviews and factory acceptance tests - Conduct system performance analyses with latest ionospheric data - Conduct ionospheric and electromagnetic interference data collections in the receive site (Angaur, Palau) - Continue Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) activities - Start Cybersecurity and Risk Management Framework process for fiber optic cable subsystem - Select system integrator
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 9.5 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 0.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 96.0 |
This activity is 100% of project 650012's FY2027 request and 55% of PE 0102417F's. In the request year the activities under a project sum to it exactly; in the current year they under-cover it in about 9% of cases, so an activity's delta can legitimately exceed its parent's and the two must not be compared row to row.
